Pat38493 said:To elaborate, the tariff terms document says :
"This tariff is ‘time of use’ which means there are two electricity unit rates. One during peak time and a different unit rate at off-peak time. The peak rate is between the hours of 5.01 am to 11.59 pm and the off-peak unit rate is between the hours of 12.00 am to 5.00 am. The gas has a single unit rate."
I assumed that this was according to local time rather than GMT but it doesn't specify one way or the other.
I don't know about BG, but if you're switching to Octopus they do adjust for GMT/BST (at least, my current Go tariff does - I have 4 cheap hours a night, except on the 26th of March I only had 3 hours, but on the 30th of October I received 5 hours).
